State senator: 'Every day is 1 day closer to students dying'

Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez is counting down the days until the start of the next school year, which he said is 77 days.

Without change, "every day is one day closer to students dying," Gutierrez, a Democrat, told ABC News.

He is among the lawmakers calling on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to convene a special session to address gun violence.

The senator also mentioned potential plans to tear down Robb Elementary and build a new campus.

"I want what families want. Every person has told me they don’t want to go back. Little kids I’ve met have told me they don’t want to go in that school," he said.
